Backplane throughput determination

CCDECCDE9 · ‎10-28-2009

Hi

Is there a command I can run to see the total backplane throughput in use on Cisco Cat4006 Switches ?

Thanks

Hello CCDE,

if IOS based

try with

sh platform health

in this lenghtly show there is a section about BW usage per slot

example

sh platform health | begin Allocation

Allocation ceiling Current allocation

------------------ ------------------

kbytes % in use kbytes % in use

Linecard 1's Store 258.00 3% 9.92 100%

Linecard 2's Store 258.00 62% 162.09 100%

Linecard 3's Store 258.00 62% 162.09 100%

Linecard 4's Store 258.00 66% 171.03 100%

Linecard 5's Store 258.00 62% 162.09 100%

Linecard 6's Store 258.00 62% 162.09 100%

Hope to help

Do we know what the max througput is per slot for 4006.I could not find data sheets.It says total of 30Gbps backplane throughput

Hello CCDE,

a WS-4548 can do only 6 Gbps per slot also on a C4506 ( to be said)

So I would expect 6 Gbps per slot

Hope to help

Hi.

The maximum throughput in Cat4x00 series of switches is actually determined by the Supervisor used, and they are fixes at 6 Gbps per slot for all non-E supervisors, while the Sup6E gives 24 Gbps per slot in Cat4500E chassis.

If catos , the current usuage is shown with "show traffic" . If you need the total then you would have to look up the specs on the box on cisco.com .

"show traffic" gives me nothing
